EGGS!

What we’re doing today
folks!
History
Etiology
Health
Dissecting the egg
Good Egg, Bad Egg
Cooking
2
Background History
300 mya- eggs laying in the ocean
100 mya- mineralized egg shell
8 mya- Gallus genus formed
3-4 mya- Gallus gallus chicken species
formed
3
7500 BCE domestication SE Asia
Background History
Egg + Sperm = Fertilization ->
Egg + no sperm =
4
Health - Allergies
Cause from ovalbumin NOT the yolk
Ovalbumin mounts an attack and
human immune system over attacks.
5
Health- Salmonella
enteritidis: Symptoms
6-72 hrs
Gastrointestinal Illness
1:10,000 eggs w/ Salmonella
“Hugging the toilet”
6
Health- Salmonella: Most
Susceptible
Young & Old: WHY???
How does it spread???
SO:
Buy Refrigerated
Cook completely
– 140ºF 5 min
– 160ºF 1 min.
7
Health- Salmonella: Safe
Alternative
Pasteurized @ 130-140ºF
Liquid eggs
Dried whites
8
Health - Cholesterol
1970’s-1980’s PHOBIA
9
Health – Cholesterol:
Misconception
1 Lg egg: 215 mg = meat 50 mg
Blood cholesterol
Heart Risk
Blood cholesterol influenced by Saturated
fats. HOWEVER: most egg yolks are
unsaturated fats.
10
Health – Cholesterol:
Substitutes
REAL egg whites
Imitation yolk: Veggie Oil
Milk Solids
Gums
11
Dissecting The Egg
1. Cuticle
2. Shell
3. Whites
4. Yolk
5. Chalaza
12
Dissecting the Egg- Cuticle/Color
Color due to proteinaceous cuticle
Cuticle plugs the pores
Color has no relation to Taste or
nutritional value
Color relates literally…
Ex. Araucana hens lay blue eggs
13
Dissecting the Egg: Shell
Derived from Hen’s uterine lining cells
Shell composed of Calcium Carbonate
10K
Air pockets
14
Dissecting the Egg: Chalaza
2 chords that anchor the yolk
Will rotate while suspended in the
middle of the egg
Function: Provides stability &
cushioning
15
Dissecting the Egg: Yolk
YOLK= Fuel: ¾ calories, iron, thiamin, &
vitamin A
Pigment Plant xanthophlls (from what
hen ate) fat & protein synthesized in the
hen’s liver
White Yolk: Yellow Yolk
16
Dissecting the Egg: Whites
Thick
& Thin Whites
Function:
– defense against Infection
– protection
– nourishment
17
Whites: Nourishment
Contains
Trace
minerals
Fatty materials
Vitamin (riboflavin)
Glucose
Water - 90%
Proteins - 10%
18
Whites: Defenses
Acts as the primary defense against infection
& predators
Protein that blocks digestive enzymes
Protein binds to iron & vitamins so NOT useful
to other species
Protein inhibits virus reproduction
Protein that digests bacteria cell wall
19
Whites: The Proteins (4 total)
Ovotransferrin (1st to coagulate)
Carries iron to developing chick
Prevents bacteria from using iron
20
Whites: The Proteins (4 total)
Ovalbumin (most plentiful approximately 70%)
– Reactive sulfur groups
Ovomucin and Ovomucoid (less than 2%)
– Jelly-like consistency
– Pulls together soupy proteins into organized
structure
–
21
Whites: Other Proteins
Globulins – lysozyme
Avidin – large quantities can cause
biotin deficiency
22
Whites: Thick & Thin= Albumen
Adds THICK layers to the
membrane whites
(albumen) in 4 layers for
THICK & THIN albumen
for consistency
Secreted by Oviduct from
protein secreting cells.
23
Eggcelent Facts
Commercial chicken can lay 250-290
eggs
Raw eggs in shell keep for 3-5 weeks in
refrigerator
Egg consumption has declined from 320
eggs per person in 1967 to 235 in 1990
and has increased to 254 in 2003.
Weight - 15 to 30 oz.
¼ hen’s energy goes in to egg making
– ½ for a duck

Good Egg Baddd Egg
Characteristics of a Good Egg:
– Intact
– Uncontaminated egg
– Strong Shell
– Firm Yolk
– Thick White
– HOW DO YOU KNOW W/O BREAKING
THE EGG?
– Bad eggs Normally when Hen lays eggs at
the end of the laying year
27
Good Egg Bad Egg: CANDLING
Spots cracks
Large air cells
“Meat spots”
– Brown in whites
– Tissue slough off from oviduct
wall
Blood spots on yolk
– Burst capillaries in hen
ovary/yolk sac
28
Eggs = A Hot Potato?
Eggs quickly gathered
Immediately Cooled
(USA) Wash in warm water
Sold 2 days after
Deterioration: 1 Day Room Temp = 4 Days
in Fridge
29
Why?
Whites & Yolks more
alkaline (dec. Acid)
Moisture decreases
Calcium Carbonate
dissolves
pH Then
pH
Later
Whites
6.0 pH
6.6 pH
Yolk
7.7 pH
9.2 pH

Storage
FREEZING: Air tight container
Separate
from shell
Whites

1.
Coagulation
2.
1. Egg
proteins
folded
chains of
Amino
Acids
3.
2. ADD Heat
and chains
UNFOLD
3. Unfolding
and chains
bond to
each other
for a
continuous
meshwork
33
Coagulation cont…
Egg white coagulation starts at 144ºF and
sets at 150ºF
Yolk thickens at 150F and sets at 158ºF
Yolk and white mixed set at 165ºF
34
Eggs + Ingredients =
Coagulation?
Liquid - raises thickening temp
Sugar - raises thickening temp
Acid and salt - thickening and
coagulation at lower temps
– Proteins do not have chance to unfold
completely
35
Foam
Egg white filled with air
Proteins unfold and bond together
(whisking causes protein to unfold)
4 stages
– “foamy”
– “soft peak”
– “stiff peak”
– “dry”
36
Foam cont.
Other ingredients
– Salt - increases whipping time/decreases
foam stability
– Sugar - delays foaming/reduces volume and
lightness BUT improves stability
– Egg yolk, oil/fat - interfere with foam
Ex. Mousses, soufflés, angle food cake, and meringues. 37Foams
help LIGHTEN a dish
Custards
West: custards are milk or cream
Fruit & Veggies can cause curdling
EX. Crème Brûlée, Cheesecake, flan, & Quiche
38
Green Eggs and Ham
Green
yolks are
harmless
Ferrous
sulfide
